Wizard: I have an inventory

Ryan walked back and forth in the underground laboratory for several times. The faint light of the light magic swayed in the empty space, reflecting the dusty walls and abandoned furniture.

As the exploration deepened, the expectation in his heart gradually turned into disappointment. He originally hoped to find the secrets left by the crimson wizard in this mysterious ruin, or encounter the special magical beast hidden here in the rumor, but the reality was far from that magical.

"Is that all?" Ryan complained in a low voice, and his eyes swept through the laboratory. Except for a few dilapidated experimental equipment and rotten tables and chairs, there was almost no valuable discovery.

He once again opened the manuscripts scattered on the ground. Although he was full of hope, there was very little content in the manuscripts. Most of them were some short notes and experimental records, without any profound spell theories, nor any powerful witchcraft secrets.

The ink had long been mottled, and some places were even blurred and difficult to recognize.

Ryan frowned and said to himself, "It seems that this place is just a laboratory for low-level wizards."

He carefully recalled the contents of the manuscript and speculated, "Perhaps this is just the habitat of the Crimson Wizard before becoming a high-level wizard, built when he was a first- or second-level wizard... The facilities here are too simple."

Although the basement is not small in size, it gives people a very basic feeling. There are no traces of large-scale rituals or powerful spells. The scratches on the wall look scary, but in fact they do not bring any clues.

Ryan had to admit that his adventure was probably in vain.

He sighed and slowly stood up, with the manuscript in his hand hanging down weakly. "It seems that I have to go somewhere else to find the real secret of the Crimson Wizard. This laboratory is not worth wasting time at all."

As the last ray of light faded from the corner of the laboratory, Ryan turned and walked towards the exit, but he had already determined a new goal in his heart-the relics of higher-level wizards must hide more secrets, or ways to become a formal wizard.

...

Ryan sat in a carriage passing through a busy street, and gradually appeared in front of him the magnificent capital of the Kingdom of Wiki, with towering city walls and magnificent style.

The breeze of early autumn carried the breath of the city, and the air was filled with busyness and vitality, as if every corner was telling of the richness and prosperity here.

"This is the capital of the Kingdom of Wiki... It's quite neat and magnificent."

Ryan whispered to himself, his eyes swept across the busy streets and the bustling crowd, and a trace of expectation emerged in his heart.

After two years of delay, Ryan dragged his feet to collect information and improve his strength along the way, and finally arrived in the Kingdom of Wiki.

The task assigned to Ryan by the Blackstone Lowland Academy was to ensure that the supply of the cave grass returned to normal. This special plant only grows in a damp cave near the capital.

The cave grass is an indispensable material in many alchemy and spells, and its rarity also makes it extremely precious in the wizard circle.

The biggest possibility of supply interruption is that the wizards here secretly intercepted the cave grass and disobeyed orders.

Thinking of this, Ryan decided to settle here for a while, explore opportunities, and also integrate into the local wizard group, even though they were all potential enemies.

Ryan did not waste time. He used the gold coins he picked up to buy a not-so-big manor, located in the quiet suburbs outside the city, away from the hustle and bustle.

There are large tracts of forests and grasslands around the manor, providing him with a quiet environment suitable for meditation and research.

He also bought a luxury property in the city located in the aristocratic gathering area, which is convenient for him to communicate with other wizards and get information.

"This land should allow me to gain a foothold here." Ryan stood in front of the window of the manor, looking at the rolling mountains in the distance, and whispered.

Although he now gave himself the identity of a wandering wizard, he knew that he needed to take root in this land first, and then slowly unveil the mystery of the kingdom's wizard group.

The influence of the Blackstone Lowland Academy in the Kingdom of Wiki should not be underestimated, and Ryan also knew that the mission sent by the academy would never be so simple.

"Perhaps, the suspension of the supply of the cave grass is just the beginning..." He thought to himself.

Next, he will appear in the wizard circle of the capital as a "wandering pharmacist", hiding his true power and intentions, and looking for opportunities to gradually integrate into the capital.

Leave the pharmacist assistant Pauline and two maids in the manor to organize the alchemy laboratory.

Ryan tidied his robes, took a deep breath, and stepped into the slave market, which was noisy and crowded, full of the atmosphere of trading and heavy oppression.

The robe he wore was particularly eye-catching in the crowd, revealing a unique atmosphere, which attracted the attention of passers-by.

"Hello, sir." The owner of the market saw Ryan and showed a hint of respect on his face. He keenly noticed Ryan's outfit.

"What can I do for you?"

Ryan nodded slightly, showing a unique temperament, "I need a butler and a large number of servants. Can your market meet them?"

The boss's eyes flashed with a shrewd light. He knew that the noble's request should not be underestimated, but he was also a businessman in the market and would not miss any opportunity.

"Of course, we have the best choice here." He waved his hand, and the assistant beside him immediately brought some candidate information.

After careful selection, Ryan decided to purchase an experienced butler and a group of loyal and hard-working servants. Just as he was about to pay, the boss suddenly stared, as if he had thought of something.

Black robe with complicated patterns, handsome and young appearance, and a faint sense of oppression.

This is what a wizard wears!

"Sir, I cannot repay you for your arrival and generosity. Please accept my most sincere gift." The boss said solemnly.

As he finished speaking, six Sabada guards wearing armor appeared in front of Ryan. Each guard exudes the majesty and strength of a knight, and is obviously an elite warrior who has undergone rigorous training.

"These guards will be your guarantee of safety."

Rui En felt relieved, knowing that his purpose of dressing up deliberately to let the boss know his identity had been achieved.

"Boss, this gift is too heavy, I can't let you suffer."

He took out a rare medicinal liquid that can prolong life and have beautifying effects. It is undoubtedly a precious gift for the boss.

When the boss saw this bottle of medicine, he showed a surprised expression and couldn't help but sigh: "You are so generous. I have nothing to repay, so I can only give you a guard as a gift."

Ryan smiled and accepted the boss's gift in return, "This is a little thought from my heart. I hope to cooperate with your market again." He expressed his gratitude to these Sabada guards.

With the transaction completed, Ryan slowly left the slave market with his newly purchased servants and Sabada guards.
